Prior to Within 90 days of the issuance of any planning ordevelopment approval for use of the historic Roundhouse (e.g., siteremediation,grading, site development plan, building permit) encompassing the areaofthe historic Roundhouse, the property owner shall also submita rehabilitation plan for the historic Roundhouse to the City for reviewand approval by the Brisbane Planning Commission. Implementation ofthe rehabilitation plan shall be completed prior to the first issuance ofan occupancy permit for the area subject to the planning or developmentpermit approved encompassing the area of the historicRoundhouse.

The rehabilitation plan shall be consistent with the performance standards contained in the following documents:3

The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.Suchstandards call for the retention of significant,character-defining features of the building while finding a new use for the structure that is compatible with its historic character;

The National Park Service’s Preservation Brief #17, Identifying the Visual Aspects of Historic Buildings as an Aid to Preserving Their Architectural Character; and

To ensure compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, rehabilitation plans shall also be reviewed by a qualified consulting architectural historian who meets the Secretary of theInterior’s Standards for Architectural History prior to action by the Planning Commission. The rehabilitation plans shall meet a minimum of 7 out of 10 of thestandards.

The Secretary of the Interior’s Standard #6, specifically, requiresthat replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. As nearly 50 percent of the building is missing dueto fires and vandalism, such evidence is key to its successful rehabilitation. Original plans and early photographs of the Roundhouse are availableat the Library and Collections Department of the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. These original plans and early photographs shall be used when preparing the rehabilitation plan for this building to ensure that rehabilitation efforts will adequately preserve the historic architectural and structural integrity of the building.
